CANDLE-LAMP.

citizen of the United States, and a resident of Syracuse, in the countyof Onondaga. and

State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Candle-Lamp,of which the following is a specification.

' This invention has for its object a candle lamp which is particularlysimple and light 10" in construction, and highly eflicient, strongand'durable in use, and it consists in the combinations andconstructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In describing this invention, reference is had to the accompanyingdrawings, in which like characters designate corresponding parts in allthe views. I

Figure 1 is a transverse sectional view, partly in elevation, of apreferable form of my candle lamp.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the base thereof.

This candle lamp comprises, a base, including an upright wall or cupwhich incloses a candle receiving space, a candle holder held by thebase within the cup, and a chimney supported by said cup.

1 designates the base including a body which is here illustrated as atray, and an upright wall 2 inclosing the candle receiving space, saidwall being disposed centrally of the tray.

3 is the candle holder held within the wall 2, and here shown as in theform of a cup in which the candle 4 is located, the cup being preferablymade of transparent glass, and the candle preferably fitting, and beinlocated entirely within the cup.

5 is the chimney which telescopes in the upper portion of the wall 2 andrests at its lower edge against inwardly projecting shoulders 6 providedon the inner side of the upright wall 2 below the upper edge thereof.Preferably the shoulders 6 are formed by indenting the wall 2 atintervals from its outer side.

7 are perforations in the annular wall 2 which extend below theshoulders6 in order to permit the air to be drawn into the chimney 5below the chimney to support combustion. The perforations 7 are hereshown as ornamental in character.

The tray of the base has a central depression 8 and a groove 9 in thebottom of the depression adjacent the side wall of the depression; thegroove 9 providing an ex- Specification of Letters Patent.

ternal bead 10 011 the lower side of the tray of the base upon whichbead the base rests. Instead of one continuous groove, and one beadbeing formed, a number of short grooves and beads may be provided. Thebase 1 is also provided with a suitable handle 11.

The upright wall 2 fits within the side wall of the depression 8 andsaid wall 2 is formed with an inturned flange 12 at its lower edge whichoverlies and closes the groove 9 and also laps upon the bottom of thedepression 8, such flange 12 having its inner margin 13 upturned formingan internal upright wall concentric with the wall 2 but of less heightthan the same. The

, wall 2 and the margin 13 constitute inner and outer concentric walls,and are usually annular in form.

The candle holder rests upon the bottom of the depression 8 and fits theinner annular wall 13, the annular wall 13 holding the candle holder 3in position.

The chimney or globe 5 may be of suitable form, size and construction,but is here shown as cylindrical in general form with its top contractedas at 14:. The contracted top cooperates with the air inlets 7 to keepthe candle burning without flickering.

What I claim is:

1. A candle lamp comprising a base formed with inner and outer uprightwalls spaced apart and projecting upwardly above the face of the base sothat the inner wall is located within the outer wall with an annularspace between them,.a candle holder having its lower portion seatedwithin the inner wall, and a chimney carried by the outer wall above theinner wall, the candle holder projecting above the inner wall,substantially as and for the purpose described.
